Some Things Just Take Time
AI makes speed feel irresistible, but not everything should be accelerated. Some changes only happen at a human pace.
In this full embrace year of AI, I often feel tempted to speed up everything. I want to remove every friction. But some things cannot be accelerated. Some things simply take time to adapt, to unfold, or to happen.
I used to hold an extreme attitude toward myself: I am just a tool. At work, I thought this was professionalism. But that mindset inevitably spreads into every other part of life, and many times it does not work.
I keep thinking I should be able to eliminate my emotions, but ordinary people usually cannot live that way. They move through life mostly through emotion, and I should respect that instead of resisting it. If I treat other people the way I sometimes treat myself, or the way I treat AI, many people simply will not accept it.
So I should try to be more soft, more slow, with more “Heart ❤️ Lie”, which might just work.
And I like the thing that works. Useful not True.
在这个全面拥抱 AI 的年份里，我经常会忍不住想把一切都加速。我想消除所有摩擦。但有些事情就是无法被加速，有些事情只能慢慢适应、慢慢展开、慢慢发生。
我以前对自己有一种很极端的态度：我只是一个工具。在工作里，我曾经觉得这就是专业。但这种心态不可避免地会蔓延到生活的其他方面，而很多时候，它并不奏效。
我总觉得自己应该能够消除情绪，但普通人大多并不是这样活着的。他们主要靠情绪来经历生活，而这一点应该被尊重，而不是被抵抗。如果我用自己对待自己，或者对待 AI 的那种方式去对待别人，很多人是不会接受的。
所以我应该试着更柔软一点，更慢一点，多一点「Heart ❤️ Lie」，也许这样反而行得通。
而我喜欢那些行得通的东西。Useful not True.
